🐿 Watch Three Baby Squirrels in Nest! ❤

Squirble is one of our baby squirrels who was born last year and orphaned at 4-5 weeks old. She was released when she was about 3 months old, and the property owner has been helping to watch out for her and placed a feeding station for her in the tree, that we keep stocked. Now, Squirble has babies of her own this Spring, and she's been letting us get a look at them inside their drey (nest) where she gave birth to them, inside a hollow tree branch about 20ft. above ground. So far, 3 babies have been visible, but for a first time momma, that's probably all she had this time. They usually have only 1 or 2 the first time, and subsequent litters may be 4-6. Squirble was still very young to become a mommy, so carrying just 3 for her the first time must have been a challenge, but she's been doing so good caring for her babies.❤ Almost every time the drey has been checked, which has been up to twice a day, every day, for the past week, Squirble has been in there nursing them or just snuggling with them to keep them warm on cold days. 😇 Since they have reached weaning age though, she must be out foraging more to bring food back for them now. This is only the second time the drey has been checked in almost 2 weeks that she's not been in there. She's been very attentive to them.

The rescue has come back many times and through many hardships over the years, but I fear it won't be possible this time without immediate and substantial support. Only $809 in donations have been received this month, with a balance of $1,269.97 needed 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙨, and there are 𝙊𝙉𝙇𝙔 8 𝘿𝘼𝙔𝙎 𝙇𝙀𝙁𝙏. 😢 The total taken in last month fell $723.56 short of covering the rescue's expenses. This is the most the rescue fundraising has come up short in over a year. Please give, and help provide medical care and sanctuary for wildlife and many exotic animals who have no one else to help them. This rescue is funded entirely on donations. There are no government grants. No corporate sponsors. Just myself, and less than a dozen regular donors who believe that these animals need help. Your support helps keep the doors open and one more animal to be saved. 🐤 🐍 🐢 🦎 🦆 🐇 🐁 🐟 🐖 🕊 You can help by making a donation today.
